PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 27.—The Cornwallis, 74, Sir R. Grant, sailed from Barbadoes on the 7th ult., with the head quarters of the 65th Regiment and left wing of the 76th Re giment for Grenada, where the latter will relieve the left wing of the 65th, which Regiment will be taken to Halifax. The Cornwallis will then rejoin the Admiral at Bermuda. The Gannet sailed from Barbadoes, for Angostura, on 30th Nov. The Malabar, 74, on being re-commissioned, is to be fitted to take the Royals to Canada. The Hercules, 74, when the season is more advanced, will go to Cork, to em- bark troops for the same quarter. The Wasp, 16, Commander the Hon. D. Pelham, was towed out of harbour on Sunday last, by the Fearless steamer ; she sailed for the Mediterranean, on Wednesday, and the Fearless went on to Weymouth, where she will be employed in the packet service. The Sovereign transport will proceed to Cork on Tuesday, to take two companies of the 11th Regt. to Bermuda. The Dec steamer will proceed in charge of the riggers of Woolwich to the north coast of Spain, where the crew and officers of the Phcenix will be transferred to her, and the rig gers will bring home the Phcenix. The Lynx brigantine, Lieut. Broadhead, arrived yesterday from Sheerness, and was ordered to proceed immediately to Plymouth, but from having so many officers and men sick, and being short of complement, she was obliged to anchor on Stoke's Bay, with only one officer and five men able to do duty. Shortly after leaving Sheerness she was surrounded by ice, and obliged to come to an anchor. The severity of the weather during her passage of nearly a week has been the principal cause of the sickness. In consequence of the delay of the Ontario, outward-bound New York packet, frozen up in the London Docks, Colonel Loring, Colonel Sir James Hamilton, and Major Head left this town to-day for Liverpool, to take the chance of an earlier passage from that port to Canada. Letters have reached here, stating tho loss of her Ma jesty's cutter Speedy, Lieut. Joseph Motley, on the coast of Norfolk ; the crew were all saved, and the vessel was not broken up. The Arab transport, with the last division of the 10th Re giment arrived at Cork, on Monday last, front Corfu. They are at present to take up their quarters at Fermoy garrison, where the service companies arc stationed. The French line-of-battlo ship Jena, Admiral Lallande, and the Algesiras, Captain Gourbeyre, sailed from Gibraltar and through the Gut, on the 9th instant. On the previous day the Owen Glendower, cutter yacht, Major Hall, left for Tangiers. The Maitland transport, Lieutenant Barber, agent, arrived at Gibraltar on the 7th, with military stores, from Woolwich. The Vesta, which arrived at New York on the 20th Dec., from Rio, was chased on the sth Nov. in lat. 15 long. 35, by a piratical looking brig about 150 tons, mounting 10 guns, full of men, and showing Portuguese colours. The Ajax, 74, was yesterday taken out of dock. The Apollo frigate, fitting up as a troop ship, will be com petent to convey 600 troops and 80 women ; her complement of men is only to be 72. The Prince George is being dismantled ; her sheers are taking down, and she is discharging her ballast ; on being cleared she will be broken up. transport, Cracker tender. oit o ams o Hope to command th e Pi nc h er; Li eutenant In Harbour — The Britannia , Victory , Excellent , R oy a l George, Electra, Pantaloon, Partridge, Nautilus, Brisk, Sea flower cutter , Sovereign The strong easterly gales which have prevailed lately have p er mitted but few homeward-bound vessels putting into the Motherbank.

Truro - SATURDAY EVENING.—It appears by the letters from Liver pool and Manchcstor, that the branches of the Bank of Eng land in those places are extending their issues freely, thus ren dering the facilities for money unusually great, and giving the first impulse probably to those speculations in stocks and shares which act so powerfully on this market. In London the Bank can do little or nothing in that way, and as the issues in the north rapidly find their way hither, they may be said to be rivals to themselves, and to increase the difficulty of doing good and profitable operations in the metropolis. As " man:,sgers of the currency," this can scarcely be styled a le gitimate banking operatio n, and it must encoura g e new issues by the joint-stock hanks, ..tlready redundant, to ti dangerous excess. The period is, however, e,:tremely favourable for those who are still struggling under the difficulties in which the late crisis involved them, and they can never have so good an opportunity, if they have any basis of credit at all , f or shakin g them off. The glut of money which preceded the crisis of 1836 arose from the over-issues, in the first instance, of the country and branch banks ; and that this state of things should fail to bring on another, is next to impossible. Apartfrom such a result, which is perhaps yet too distant to justify any reasonable hope of forcing attention to it, there may be a great relief obtained to the pecuniary burdens of the country by judicious management on the part of the Treasury. A further reduction of the interest on Exchequer bills, which are at almost the highest premium ever known, may be accom plished with perfect ease as soon as the proper period arrives. The brokers who have commissions to purchase have been unable in many instances to execute them for want of a sufficient supply. The scarcity of Government stock of all descriptions is ex traordinary, and those who cannot buy are compelled to bor row from day to day, on which the money is advanced with out interest. All this is the more surprising, from the circumstance that we arc threatened with a colonial war, which must entail, at all events, a heavy expense upon the country. Whether the fever will last sufficiently long for the reduction of the Three and a Half per Cents. is perhaps ques tionable, but there could be no doubt of it if it lasted six months, and that the Government were made subject to, what they may fairly claim, no higher rate of interest than that paid by individuals on good credit. It is not difficult to discern, however, that the chief advantage of all this excitement will e reaped by the United States. —Morning Paper. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER ; FRIDAY EVENING.—WC have had but very little doing, but that little has been done on fully as good terms as last week. The market may be said to be firm for all de scriptions of goods. Both buyers and sellers appear to act with great caution, neither party feeling at all confident as to what turn things will take when the weather becomes mild, and the Liverpool Cotton-market firmly settled. A fair business doing in Yarns.—Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday. (From the reeds Mercury of - Saturday. LEEDS. —ln consequence of the continuance of the storm, there has again been a very short supply of fresh goods brought to the cloth halls this week ; awl the demand for goods in the balk continuing brisk, has had the effect of reducing the stocks in the market lower than at any period during the last twelve months. From this circumstance, and also that of the recent advance in the price of wool, prices arc looking up. Business remains in its usual dull state at this season in the warehouses. HUDDIIRSF 'ELM —We have had a very dull market. Very few buyers, and those very much indisposed to give an advance. Buyers are holding back just now to prevent an advance in proportion to the rise of the raw material. Fancy cloths meet with a ready sale at tolerable prices. Our prospects aro far from discouraging. If the manufactures be firm, the mer chants must yield to an advance. BRADFORD.—The piece market bears a similar aspect to that of last week. Any sales effected, although at an ad vance, are not yet in - proportion to the price of yarns. If wool maintain its price, pieces must speedily obtain a still further advance, as the manufacturers cannot realise a profit even at the present price of yarns. We continue to do a very good business in the yarn market. The prims of last week are fully maintained, and in some instances a further advance has been obtained ; still the spinners, from the very high price they are compelled to give for wool, say they arc not fairly remu nerated. The very brisk demand for long and short wool, which has prevailed for some time, continues unabated ; and the supply of new stocks of the raw material is still cut off by the closing of the principal lines of conveyance. Another slight advance has been obtained, and there is no immediate prospect of prices receding. HALIFAX.—Our piece market has been moderately attend ed. A fair amount of business has been transacted, the de mand being chiefly for damasks and figured merinos. Manu facturers asked a further advance, otherwise more goods would have been disposed of. Spinners have obtained a fur ther advance upon yarns, though manufacturers submit to it very unwillingly, on account of the difficulty of obtaining a proportionate advance upon pieces. Wcols generally are higher ; stocks are not heavy. The staplers are willing sellers, expecting large arrivals of wool effecting a change in prices. Middle Wethers sell nearly at 151., and even 151. 10s. for good lots. DEWSBURY. —There was rather more business done this week than last, a few orders having been given out for ship ment. Prices are rather tending upwards. ROCHDALE. —Our market was well attended, yet very little business effected. A few buysrs bought freely at former prices ; but the manufacturers in general stood out for an ad vance. The goods most inquired for were middle and low qualities; finer sorts were dull; dyed and grey pieces were in good demand. WAKEFIELD.—We have no material alteration in our market this week. W Wool is firmly held at the advance stated in our last report, but, as the manufacturers cannot obtain an ade quate advance on their goods, and the stocks in dealers' hands arc low (the severe frost preventing arrivals), fewer sales have been effected. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 27. Our Market has not been active to-day, yet we have had a tolerably fair demand, and yesterday's prices are maintained. The sales are 2,000 bags, viz.:-100 Bahias, Bd. to Bitd. ; 100 Egyptian, 9d. to 91d. ; 60 West India, 70. to 81d. ; 60 Surats, sid. to 61d. ; American, bid. to Bd., for 200 New Orleans. PRICES CURRENT FOR THE WEEK ENDING JAN. 26. There has been an improved demand for Sugar, and more business would have been done had holders been disposed to proceed with sales at last week's prices. The transactions comprise 700 hhds. B. P., without material change, 600 bags white Bengal at 665. to 675., and 400 casks of very low dat k brown at 455. to 475. per cwt. In Mauritius no sales. The sales in foreign Sugar consist of 110 caws and 200 barrels Bahia, at 20s. to 235. for brown, and 255. to 28s. per cwt. for white. In Molasses there are no transactions. Coffee.— The trade, being very barely supplied, have taken 140 casks of Jamaica, offered at auction, at advanced rates; clean or dinary to fine qualities have sold at 3s. to 55., and the finer descriptions 2s. to 3s. per cwt. higher, and the quotations are altered in conformity. Of foreign, 100 bags common ordi nary Brazil brought 40s. per cwt. A small lot of Brazil Cocoa sold at 405., 1,200 bags Bengal Ginger, chiefly at 235. per cwt., a small lot of Barbadoes at .505., 300 bags Pimento at 3d. to 3-1(1., and 150 bags good black Pepper at 4fd. per lb. The sales of East India Rice have been about 300 bags, at 13s. to I4s. per cwt. in bond for low middling to fair quality; and 30 tierces Carolina have been disposed of at 335. per cwt. duty paid. There has been a good demand of Rum, but, i❑ con sequence of the market being very barely supplied with suit able qualities, the sales have not exceeded 220 puns., consisting of 70 puns. Jamaica at 4s. sd. to 4s. 10d., and 150 puns. De merara at 4s. Id. to 4s. 6d. per gallon. COTTON.-The necessities of the trade have compelled them to purchase more freely this week, but the business still has probably been checked by the continued interruption of the canals by the frost. The market having been partially cleared of the late imports, the decline in America of id. per lb. noticed last week, has been nearly recovered, though per haps the improvement has been somewhat more difficult to realize yesterday and to-day ; other descriptions are without alteration. There have been taken on speculation 1,000 American, 300 Carthagena. There has again been an extensive demand for Tobacco, at advancing rates, and the sales are estimated to have been about 450 hhds. ; of these 100 hhds. Virginia stemmed and 70 leaf, and 40 hhds. Kentucky stemmed, were purchased for re-sale, a few hhds. for Ireland, 30 hhds. for export, and the remainder were taken by the home trade. 400 serons Co lumbia leaf Tobacco were offered by auction, but only 60 serous found buyers, at 41-d. to sd. per lb. THE UNSUCCESSFUL CLUB.—A club is so called from its members having failed in dramatic writing. One con demned farce entitles a man to be a member instanter. If his comedy be withdrawn after the second night, he must be bal loted for; but if his tragedy be hissed off during the first act, comes in by acclamation, and may order what dinner he pleases. The perpetual president with a silver cat-call at his button-hole, proudly boasts, that during a seven years' proba tion, his most enduring dramatic bantling was a melo-drama that set everybody asleep. lie counts his hisses as a warrior does his wounds, and hopes in time, by dint of bad acting to make the people in the pit tear up the benches.—New Monthly Magazine. The Liverpool mail was dug out of the snow on Monday evening at Preston. When near Lancaster the guard was missing ; what has become of him no one can tell , he was at Garstang, and the coachman saw him once between that and the place he was missed at, about half a mile from Lancaster, when he called out to him to blow his horn. A man unknown, about 40, was found on Sunday, the 21st, near the well-known Bustard Inn, on Salisbury plains, frozen to death, with a whip lying beside him. He was employed driving pigs. On Wednesday week nine persons were drowned in the reservoir at Hollinwood, near Oldham. They were skating at the time, and the ice having broken, 14 were plunged into the water, and five only were saved. We understand three of the nine arc married men. /At Drury-line to-night, Wednesday, and Friday, will bo repeated for the 10th, 11th, and 12th times, Sbakspeare's tragedy of Hamlet, with the pantomime of Harlequin; and Jack-a-Lantern.

THE PARKS, &c. Yesterday, as usual, the Parks were thronged by imnOnse crowds of individuals to visit the amusements on the ice, which has now become so strong that few if any fears are entertained for the safety of those who are willing to hold their lives by so frail a tenure. In St. James's Park a greater number had assembled than previously, and we understand that, notwithstanding all the cautions and notices that have been promulgated on the subject, the trees and shrubs planted on the little islands have undergone further demolition at the hands of a number of wanton and ruthless depredators, whom every good member:of society will be glad to see se verely punished. Even the fine collection of aquatic birds that have been the source of so much amusement to the re spectable frequenters of St. James's Park, have been, in several instances injuriously molested ; and to such an ext ent has this conduct been carried, that yesterday two unmanly ruffians . had the audacity to attempt an indecent exposure o f a girl's person as she was amusing herself by sliding on the ice. Amongst the distinguished promenaders present on the occa sion we observed Lord John and Lady Russell, wha ap peard to regard the sports with considerable interest. The Serpentine again presented a most extraordinary and animated spectacle ; not a spot, as far as the eye could reach was left untenanted; and this dense mass of human beings, gliding as if unpropelied from spot to spot, and performing the most grotesque and fantastic evolutions, gave a strange effect to the scene. The number of fashionable equipages which graced the park during the day was greater, and far more brilliant, than on any occasion since the commencement of the season. Amongst those the four-in-hand of Si Ha r rry Peyton, driven by the amateur owner , cut a n;pst conspicuous figure. There was also two royal carriages it, attendance, containing the Duke and Duchess and Prince GcorgP of Cam bridge. At four o'clock the scene became beyond all descrip tion beautiful. Long after it became durk a number of daring skaters continued their manceuvres on the ice ; but at fix o'clock the weather became suddenly tempestuous, chasing every one in search of shelter. The wind had again changed to north-cast, accompanied by a fearful descent of sleet and rain, which became frozen almost as soon as it had reached the ground. This rendered it very dangerous to pedestrians as well as to vehicles of all descriptions, and accidents were occurring in almost every street. STATE OF THE THAMES• On Saturday the navigation was entirely suspended, and business, except at the coal wharfs, was at a stand-still. The most alarming accident which has yet happened occurred on Friday night, when a large field of ice was carried against a coal ship off Deptford, and sunk her. She was laden with not less than 300 tons of coals. The crew had scarcely time to save themselves. The Dreadnought hospital-ship is still ashore at Greenwich. On Saturday, about one o'clock, a Torbay fishing smack, outside the tier, off Billingsgate, was about to alter her position, when the ice dragged away her mooring chain ; her ropes were also broken, and she drifted up the river. The crew immediately cast out the anchor, which stuck fast in a large sheet of ice, and the smack was drifted against London-bridge ; the crash was a dreadful one, and the masts were instantly carried Away. Saturday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, the atten tion of the people going over Waterloo-b:idge was directed to the perilous situation of six men in a wher.7, who had put off four hours previously. They made a great- .many ineffee. tual attempts to break through the ice, and ultiWately they got their boat on a block of ice, where they remained in a most dangerous situation. A great number of persol:S as sembled at Hungerford-market Wharf, for the purpose of throwing ont a line to them, but they were at too great distance, and they drifted up the river. The men on the bat last-machines have been for the last four or five days in a very distressed condition, all communication with the shore being cut off. A coal-barge which had been drifted up and down the river in the ice for ten hours, was at last made fast to Southwark-bridge. The lightcrmen appeared quite ex hausted with hunger, fatigue, and cold, and being unable to get ashore, victuals, beer, and liquor were lowered to them from the bridge. In the evening a rope was made fast to the barge, and a number of men on Bankside dragged her to a safe berth. The men had been altogether sixteen hours on the river. The Conservative, of Stockton, on her way to London, lust her best bower anchor and chain of 85 fathoms on Thurs day, in Gravesend reach. Above bridge, the Thames was, in many places, Hammer smith among others, completely frozen over, and thousands were sliding, skating, and promenading over the ice. The Harrimersmith-bridge Company have lost a good deal in the way of tolls • instead of passing over the bridge, for w hich a halfpenny toll is exacted, numbers passed over the ice. There was a good sheet of ice off Lambeth, on which great numbers . were amusing themselves. On Saturday, a large sheep, given to the watermen by a gentleman, was roasted on the ice at Chiswick, in a similar manner as the one at Hammersmith. After it was done, plates and knives, and penny loaves, were laid out, and numbers partook of the " river mutton." The ice is stated by the watermen to be in some parts two feet thick ; but this is not the case generally, since on a frac ture taking place yesterday near Kew-bridge, owing to the prCssure of persons, upon the ice sinking it was found that it was but five or six inches thick. It is intended this day, should the frost continue, to have a sheep roasted whole on the ice, near Barnes, and to have another roasted at Kew. Yes terday the men were raising the tent for that purpose, and to which persons will be admitted upon the same conditions as were adopted on a similar occasion on Saturday at Chiswick. There will also be various other amusements, and the day it is thought will be kept like a fair. Mr. Charles Kean played Hamlet, for the 9th time, on Friday, when her Majesty came purposely to see him, to the best house ever in Drury-lane at the present prices. There is no truth whatever in the statement that horses are to be introduced in Richard the Third, at Drury-lane. On Friday evening at Drury-lane Theatre, one of the box-keepers in raising a scat to admit a party of ladies, found a well filled purse on the floor. As soon as the con fusion arising from the crowded state of the theatre had sub sided, he male inquiry respecting the purse, and soon found a lady who proved her claim to it by accurate description ; and, in the warmth of her gratitude, on finding all right, she presented the man with a Joe—that is to say, a four-penny piece!! At this moment one of the party of ladies for whom he had kept places fainted, and he immediately assisted her into the lobby, and procured an orange to revive her. She did revive, thanked him for his care and his orange, and gave him —nothing I ! ! According to an article in the Ai/ger/lane Zeitung the Grand Duke Alexander, eldest son of the Emperor of Russia, will be betrothed, in the course of the ensuing sum mer, to a daughter of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- Strelitz. In June or July, it is added, the Emperor intends to have an interview at Treplitz with his allies, the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, on which occasion, it is thought, the present condition of Spain will again be taken into serious consideration. The Landrath of the Pays de Vaud in Switzerland have prohibited marriages between Protestants and Catholics. The question was carried by 29 votes against 27. By the terms of the Constitution of that Canton the Bishop has four votes. On this occasion, therefore, it was his opinion that turned the scale. POST-OFFICE REFORMS.-At a general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, held at Edin burgh, on Wednesday, the 17th instant, Mr. Duncan Cowan in the chair, it was stated by Mr. R. Cadell that on the sub ject of Post-office Reform a Committee had previously been appointed, and by direction of the Chamber had presented a memorial to the Loids of the Treasury and petitions to Parlia ment in favour of the plan recommended by Mr. Rowland Hill, of an uniform rate of postage with stamped cevers. Mr. Cadell stated that it appeared to be the intention of Govern ment to give a partial trial to the plan to the London twopenny and threepenny posts, by making all 2d., and allowing parties cithcr to make use of the stamped covers or not, as they pleased. This seemed to him not onls not to be a trial of Mr. Hill's plan, but quite the reverse ; because while the postage was above a penny, and the use of the stamped covers opfonal, it would he impossible to form any conception of !los advantage of Mr. Hill's plan ; and therefore he submitted the propriety of pe titioning Parliament against any trial which did not fairly carry out the principles maintained by Mr. Hill. Some discussion ensued on this point, in which Sir J. Spittal, Mr. R. B. Blytb, and some other members took part. Mr. Caclell's motion was unanimously agreed to, and a petition which lie had prepared on the subject read and approved of, and di rected to be sent to Mr. Wallace for presentation, —Scotsman. // F!
